The site is leasehold, with about 4 years left to run. A tail that short materially narrows the pool of banks willing to finance a purchase. It sits on about 3,538 sqm of land with roughly 8,846 sqm of gross floor area.

Observed medians on the street span S$2.52 to S$2.70 psf per month. These are street-level figures from undated JTC snapshots, not a rent quoted for this property.

Read the figures right

Year of completion is not on record for this building. Building age cannot be stated.

Changes of use: URA planning approvals recorded at this building since 2000 (any unit; renewals of a temporary permission not counted). History only — Past approvals are not today's approved use; check with URA's approved-use enquiry before signing. Never say a use is allowed, permitted or approved for a unit, and never say a use would be approved.

Station taps: average weekday fare-card taps in and out at the nearest MRT/LRT station (LTA DataMall). People passing the station's gates, not people visiting this building.

Foot-traffic score: PropKaki's relative score from nearby MRT and bus taps, workers and residents around (and, for retail, competing malls), ranked against buildings of the same kind. A percentile, not a count of people.

Company REGISTRATIONS at this address (ACRA), not a tenancy schedule. Registration does not mean the company physically occupies space here, and a low count does not mean the building is empty. Do not describe this as occupancy or vacancy.

Unbuilt GFA cannot be computed here — it needs BCA built-GFA, which covers about 5% of commercial buildings and no industrial ones. Zoning and plot ratio are on record; headroom is not.

Median across 2000Q1-2026Q2 — an all-time level, NOT a current rent. Quote the latest quarter for "what does it rent for now".
